One month before the official release, Ubisoft announces the Far Cry: New Dawn system requirements for those who wish to play the PC version of the video game.
The release was made on ubisoft.com; so in case you wonder if your rig can run Far Cry: New Dawn, make sure you check the system requirements below.
As you can notice, the PC system specs for Far Cry: New Dawn are quite similar to those for Far Cry 5; which means that if you played the previous installment, you will most likely be able to play the new Far Cry.
Far Cry: New Dawn was announced at The Game Awards 2018. The video game is set seventeen years after Far Cry 5, and a narrative sequel to the previous title.
You’ll return to Hope County after a nuclear disaster, and you’ll try to rebuild the community, keeping it safe from Mickey and Lou; the twin sisters who are the game’s antagonists.
According to Ubisoft, in Far Cry: New Dawn you’ll meet some familiar faces and you’ll also find out what happened to the Deputy and Joseph Seed from Far Cry 5.
